Abd Allah Ibn Abbas, his Quranic exegesis and contribution to the interpretation of the Quran
Abstract:
Abd Allah ibn Abbas (d.68/688) is certainly a pioneering exponent of Qur'anic exegesis. His strategy involved firstly an intratextual approach for clarifying obscure words and phrases found in the Qur'an. Thereafter, he resorted to the following intratextual strategies in order of importance: a) Prophetic Tradition b) Arabic Poetry c) Comments of Jews and Christians d) Personal Opinion He applied hermeneutical principles informally which were later formalised by scholars like Al-TabarT (d.310/923) and Ibn KaOir (d.774/1373) who are exponents of the same genre of traditional exegesis.

Learning from the Childhood of Abdullah Ibn Abbass
The lives of the early Muslims, lovingly known as the sahaba, or companions, never cease to amaze me.

The stories of these early men and women are filled with tales of challenges and hardship, yet they stood firm in their faith and used whatever means they had to practice their religion as purely as they could while also helping to spread the meddelande of Islam to the world. The sahaba were great role models for our children and their inspirational lives hold valuable lessons for us as parents as well.
One such man was named Abdullah ibn Abbass, may Allah have mercy on him, and his story, and the lessons we can take from it as parents, begins from the time that he was a child.
